Plastics are hidden in labeling. 100% natural items or plastic free items have plastic in them.

Shawna Troyer 4/23/2024 5:57 PMChecking in. April is flying by and I've not had time for anything! Heading out for some fresh air. -
Desiree Fritz 4/23/2024 4:44 PMI just went plastic free with my laundry detergent by switching to a company called Clean People ..they mail you sheets to use rather than big plastic bottles of liquid.
I also use my dishwasher rather than handwash as I've learned it uses less water. :) -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand + Forests Choose Eco-Friendly Wood and PaperBeyond carbon sequestration, what other benefits do forests offer you personally?
Jennifer Dusek 4/23/2024 1:42 PMI'm a bird nerd so the habitat forests create for an entirely different set of species compared to my suburban home or the ocean shoreline makes for an entirely different experience in nature! There are so many nooks and crannies for birds in a forest that it can be hard to see them but hearing their calls amongst the trees is just as exciting.-
Blaise Love 4/23/2024 1:53 PMHave you checked out the bird calls library? It's really neat; you can find tons of recordings of bird audio of various species! https://search.macaulaylibrary.org/catalog?mediaType=audio

REFLECTION QUESTIONFreshwater + Oceans Smart Seafood ChoicesMany states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?
Monica Mohan selvaraju 4/23/2024 4:40 AMI'm not sure of the guidelines but I tried to restrict my overall nonveg consumption for my personal benefit as well as the benefit of the nature. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFreshwater + Oceans Understand My Water FootprintWhat did you learn about your water footprint and what are you going to do to reduce and be aware of the water you use?
Monica Mohan selvaraju 4/23/2024 4:38 AMTips for reducing the water footprint of individual consumers: Reduce the amount of water used to shower and turn off the tap while soaping up, brushing your teeth, or shaving. Also, eco-friendly shower heads, toilets, and taps that can regulate the water flow can be installed.-
Jeff Wawrzeniak 4/23/2024 4:42 AMGreat idea. We also obtained and positioned something called 'leakbot' on the main line to alert me immediately of any leaks or unintended water flow.
